AC Milan coach Allegri denies offering resignation

Allegri had reportedly engaged in a bitter row with Galliani, threatening to resign this week if they signed Genoa striker Ze Eduardo.

He said: "I never thought about resigning and wanted to immediately wipe out this rumour that has been circulating recently. I have an excellent rapport with Galliani. There were exchanges of opinion, but all together we are working to build a Milan side that can compete in Italy and Europe."
